Our team is committed and passionate in working with wide-ranging community stakeholders, groups, and workplaces to advance gender equality and prevent all forms of gender-based violence. In addition to one-off workshops, trainings, and presentations, White Ribbon supports organizations, workplaces, and institutions with employee engagement programs, policy development, and culture change.  Visit our Technical Assistance page for more information and examples of that work.



OUR APPROACH

White Ribbon workshops are conducted after a safe space is created for participants and after the acknowledgment that gender-based violence affects everyone, including male-identified individuals, but that women and girls (including transgender women and girls) are disproportionately and severely impacted by men’s violence. Participants are encouraged to share their views, experiences, and insights on gender-based violence, with the goal of promoting positive roles for male-identified individuals to end gender-based violence. Please reach out to us to enquire about fees.

This workshop explores the history and work of White Ribbon and introduces approaches to building ally-ship: understanding emotions, healthy masculinities, identifying one’s power and privilege, consent, ways to intervene when violence occurs, and how to be a positive role model to other male-identified youth/adults.

What our community partners are saying about us: 

Facilitators from White Ribbon came to our Grade 12 Equity and Social Justice class and ran a very organized, personal, and engaging workshop with 31 students.  Jarvis is a very diverse school with many complex gender identities. White Ribbon facilitators were sensitive, without holding back on key messages, including the impact of toxic masculinity on all gender identities, as well as ways that we can all be a part of the solution to ending gender-based violence. I would be very happy to have them facilitate again.
-Cindy Watson, B.A, B.Ed.,M.S.W., Educator, Jarvis C.I.
White Ribbon facilitated Building Ally-Ship and Unpacking “Bro-Culture” workshop with us. It was a very interactive session that led to great discussion. It started the conversation about what we as student leaders can do on our campus to prevent gender based violence, and allowed us to create realistic goals on how get there.
